Sandy works with both adults and children seeking help for a variety of problems, including depression, anxiety, addictions, and relationship issues. Sandy's work with couples is founded in Gestalt therapy, which he has found to be very effective when working with systems of all sizes, from couples to families to businesses. He empowers couples to examine how they communicate or "get in the way of" communication and intimacy. He also focuses on present moment experience, personal responsibility, and mindfulness. A native of Washington D.C., Sandy received his Masters in Counseling Psychology from Naropa University. He is a Board Certified Music Therapist and is certified as a Gestalt therapist from the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies, where he continues to pursue advanced studies in couples and family therapy. He is also trained in EMDR.

As a registered psychotherapist, with an emphasis on Client Centered Therapy, I respect and try to enhance the innate wisdom of the client. I am trained in and use the modalities of Gestalt, Applied Existential Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy. I use these to promote insight, warmth and connection and provide a safe container for healing.

I help children and adults change their subconscious thoughts to stop smoking; lose weight; stop nail biting or skin picking, temper tantrums, bed-wetting; relieve pain, anxiety, and phobias; gain confidence, self-esteem, and success; and help with learning disabilities. Other concerns-just ask! This is powerful and all natural. I am a registered psychotherapist.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Art Therapist who strives to provide a safe and therapeutic space for adults, adolescents and children (over 8) to work on a variety of issues. I enjoy working with individuals and families. Areas of interest include: life transitions, adoption issues, grief and loss, trauma events (past and present) and crisis work.

I believe that each of us has inherent abilities to heal and live a successful and balanced life. A therapist or counselor's role is to use learned skills and therapeutic modalities in an empathic voice to assist individuals in overcoming the obstacles in their life. My goal is to have that person feel mentally and emotionally healthy AND to thrive. I hope to help you unlock that potential within yourself using such modalities as general psychotherapy, art therapy, EMDR, TF-CBT and mindfulness-based psychotherapy.

I realize that the commitment to therapy is significant and it is important to have confidence in a therapeutic relationship. Please feel free to contact me for a free 30-minute consultation.
